In China rose the flowers are
actinomorphic, hypogynous with twisted aestivation
actinomorphic, epigynous with valvate aestivation
zygomorphic, hypogynous with imbricate aestivation
zygomorphic, epigynous with twisted aestivation
A.
actinomorphic, hypogynous with twisted aestivation
Actinomorphic or star-shaped can be divided into 3 or more identical sectors, which are related to each other by rotation about the centre of the flower, e.g., China rose.
Zygomorphic flowers can be divided by only a single plane into two mirror image halves, e.g., orchids.
Valvate aestivation The sepals or petals in a whorl just touch one another at the margin, e.g., Calotropis
Twisted aestivation One margin of the appendage overlaps that of the next one, e.g., China rose.
lmbricate aestivation the margins of sepals or petals overlap but not necessarily in specific direction, e.g., Cassia.
The partial floral formula of a flower is K(5)C5A()(5).

Gamosepalous, gamopetalous, polycarpous and superior ovary
Gamosepalous, polypetalous, syncarpous and inferior ovary
The characteristic that does not belong to perigynous flowers is
Thalamus is disc shaped, cup or flask shaped
Ovary is superior, other parts are inferior
Thalamus is hollowed out and is fused with ovary wall
Androperianth is borne around or above the level of ovary.
